Madonna has been fined $249,750 (135,000 pounds) by Wembley Stadium officials for breaking the venue’s curfew during the London stop of her Sticky & Sweet world tour earlier this month.

The Material Girl’s show overran the 10.30pm curfew by 40 minutes when she played there on September 11th - her only date in the U.K. And she has now been charged $92,500 for every 15 minutes she overstayed her welcome.

"The concert was meant to start at 8.30pm but Madonna didn’t come on stage until 9.10pm. The gig ended at 11.10pm so she was quite a bit over. Her people knew about the possible implications for going over the curfew but this is a pretty hefty fine, even for Madonna."

Luckily for Madonna, she can afford the fine. The Wembley stadium gig brought in $12m USD (£6.3m), according to a statement. A week earlier she performed at the largest-ever concert in Switzerland .Madonna is not the first pop star to fall foul of Wembley s curfew. George Michael was fined 130,000 pounds when his concert also ran over time last year.

"The witness called 911 because she was concerned for Locklear's safety," Marshall said. "When a CHP officer arrived, Locklear was found seated inside her vehicle, which was partially blocking the roadway."Because Locklear appeared "disoriented and impaired," she was taken to a local CHP station and drug and alcohol tests were administered, Marshall said. The actress was cooperative.

"Alcohol was ruled out as a factor, but based on the officer's observations, we believe Locklear was under the influence of prescription medication," Marshall added.

This what actually happened, the 30-year-old dancer Sherene Flash said Winehouse hit her in the eye after she approached her for a picture, reports The Sun . The Rehab singer then apparently ran off crying, "Life can't go on. I can't do this any more".

A pal said: “Sherene asked Amy if she could take a photo. Amy was OK at first, but when Sherene asked if a friend could get in the shot, Amy lashed out.” A source said: “She was getting distressed. There was a lot of grabbing and flashbulbs were going off. She was startled.”

Cops were called to the £700-a-ticket End Of Summer Ball in central London, where Amy performed, and took a statement from Sherene.

Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan, has been formally charged with misdemeanor battery after he punched his wife in the face during an argument last month.

Britney Spears' latest single "Womanizer" was set to debut yesterday morning, but E! News is reporting it will be another week until it hits radio stations.

According to label sources, the official premiere of "Womanizer," Spears' first single off of her upcoming album Circus, has been pushed back due to an undisclosed issue with "the mix"—i.e., not Britney's vocals, per se, but rather how all facets of the track sound together.

Spears' sixth studio album, Circus, is being prepped for a Dec. 2 debut to coincide with the comebacking pop star's 27th birthday.

Well forget about the album.. they have spent a hell lot of money for photoshop.. to make Brit look like a barbie... with ugly legs and less flabbier!

All the stars were shinning in bright colours... some were dressed perfectly, looking elegant in very classic and glamourous dresses.. while some were the exact opposite of it... the worst dressed!By taking a glance at these photos you will surely come to know who's the best and the worst.

Travis Barker and DJ AM were among those aboard a Learjet that crashed upon takeoff from a Columbia, South Carolina, airport – killing four people and critically injuring two others, reports NBC News.

People reports : Barker, 32, was taken to a burn center in Augusta, Georgia, about 75 miles southwest of Columbia, and was listed in critical condition Saturday morning.

Hospital officials also confirmed that DJ AM (real name: Adam Michael Goldstein), 35, was admitted to the burn unit and that he too is in critical condition.

Barker and Goldstein were performing along with Perry Farrell, best known as the former lead singer of the band Janes Addiction, and Gavin DeGraw.

There was confusion whether Perry Farrel and Gavin DeGraw were on the plane... but it is confirmed that they are safe and were not on the plane.

Update: Shanna Moakler has rushed to be with ex-husband Travis Barker after he was in a serious plane crash. Moakler’s mother spoke to People and said that Travis was doing okay – everything considered – but that he was incredibly upset over the deaths of four other passengers, one of whom was his assistant Chris Baker.

DJ AM has been put into a medically-induced coma so that he can have skin grafts to try to replace some of the “extensive” damage from burns to his face. The doctors at the hospital said he’s lucky to be alive.

What a horrible tragedy... We'll just pray for everyone...and that all the situations will be back to normal.

Lindsay Lohan tripped over a metal barrier last night while headed into Marc Anthony’s 40th surprise birthday party at a NY hotel. She took her frustration out on an innocent photographer and punched the guy in the nose.

Lohan may have just been following the recent trend of paparazzi abuse. Other celebrities involved in altercations with photographers in the past week include Kanye West and Nicole Richie, whobroke a fan’s camera.

TMZ has posted the video, and you can’t really see what happened as it’s far away and you just see Lohan kind of scuffle with someone. Lohan is on her cellphone the entire time and you hear her say “I just hit a paparazzi.” Someone yells “They got that on film, bitch. Crazy.”

Eva Mendes recently appeared at New York’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Week to promote her new line of fine bedding for Macy’s. During the launch party for designer Patricia Field’s upcoming line of “Sex & The City” inspired fashions, Eva randomly announced that she has “had sex in all 50 states.”

“A lot of it was on a road trip I took when I was younger,” Mendes said, going on to note the best sex took place in Arizona and Colorado. “maybe it was the clear air, or the quiet, or the endless sky,” she noted, “whatever it was, it was really, really good.”

And according to Mendes, the worst sex she had was in Alaska.

“I’d really like a do-over on that state,” Mendes said, before suggesting publicists at Alaska Air “sponsor a trip for me there for that purpose.”

I wonder what she was thinking... talking about sex.... trying to pretend to be scandalous... grabing the attention of media... Gross!

Gwen Stefani is adding a new initial to her L.A.M.B. empire. The smokin’ songstress has hooked up with W Hotels to design uniforms for the posh chain’s female bar staff.

Ladies toiling away in the hotels’ Living Room lounges across the country will suit up in L.A.M.B.’s wash-and-wear black jersey minidresses—with diagonal stitch detailing and a fitted, ’80s-chic vibe—starting in December or early next year, per WWD.com.

And Gwen’s touch is instantly apparent: the black jersey dresses combine a fitted ’80s silhouette and asymmetrical styling with ’60s seam detailing and side vents. When creating the design, she knew it would have to not just look good, but be functional for active employees.

“I wanted to design a super cute dress that I would be excited to have in my own closet and approached it in the same way I think about my clothing for a tour,” she says.

Lindsay Lohan is just working it for the publicity. After two separate and distinct rounds of “they’re getting engaged” rumors flew about the internet, Lohan was spotted wearing a ring on her left hand within days – generally after.

“It’s all BS,” says her father, Michael Lohan, when asked if L.A. DJ Ronson recently proposed to his daughter. “It’s not true.” A source close to Dina Lohan adds, “She said it’s just one of Lindsay’s cocktail rings, nothing more.” In fact, Lindsay enjoys wearing flashy rings on her wedding ring finger especially because of the storm it causes in the media.

“It’s like her own personal joke these days,” the source said. “She slips a ring on that finger, then goes to a party and watches the rumors start to roll. It amuses her.”

What a pathetic idea of wearing rings on your finger to show that you are engaged! All just for publicity... What you guys think about this?

Sam used her DJ slot at top LA hotel and night spot Chateau Marmont to announce the news, telling clubbers: “By the end of this year, my love will be Mrs Ronson.”She added: “Tonight shows the power of a woman – to underestimate that is to underestimate the world.”

Li-Lo - who yesterday showed off her trim figure in a bandage dress on the set of Ugly Betty (inset) - has also been talking up her relationship with Sam, plus their matching tattoos.

The… singer has indefinitely postponed marrying [Jessica] after his mom Lynn consulted a psychic - who said Justin and Jessica should NOT get married, say pals. Most recently Lynn is said to have told her son that her astrologer warned her that he shouldn’t marry Jessica, so he completely postponed the plans he was making for a showbiz wedding.

“When Lynn told Justin that her psychic warned against the marriage, Justin immediately put wedding preparations on hold.“Some people believe that he’s afraid to get married and this was just the excuse he was looking for.“Naturally, Jessica is furious!” a source added.

Justin has been promising Jessica for months that they’d start making wedding plans, says the friend.

The pop star made a triumphant return to MTV's Video Music Awards, winning three Moonman for Best Female Video, Best Pop Video, and Video of the Year for “Piece of Me.”

Britney did the wisest thing possible and just opened the 25th MTV VMAs with a semi-lame pre-recorded skit with Jonas Hill. She didn’t perform as was widely anticipated, and the camera just followed her as she walked from her dressing room onto the stage and announced the opening of the awards, the microphone close to her face and her voice breaking at points.

"I'm in shock," the grateful singer said after accepting her third award of the night from NBA star Kobe Bryant.

Spears kept all three of her acceptance speeches short.

“This is such an honor to have this award right now,” she said. “I want to thank my fans, this is dedicated to you…”
